Configuration software for SINAUT ST7
1.11 Saving and generating system data

If S7-homogeneous connections (communication block connections) are used for
communication between TIM and TIM or between TIM and CPU, their data is packed in
SDBs starting at no. 700.
If the
Generate System data blocks for TIMS and CPUs option is selected in the Options
dialog, this system data is saved for all the SINAUT-networked TIM and CPU modules in the
subscriber list and saved in the offline data management.
Note
The SDBs must be transferred to the modules either in the SIMATIC Manager or using the
SINAUT Diagnostics and Service tool.
1.11.3 Compiling SINAUT TD7 blocks for the CPU
The following descriptions of the TD7 software relate only to the TD7 software for the CPU.
If the
Compile SINAUT TD7 source files for CPUs option is selected in the Options dialog,
several compile functions will be activated for all SINAUT-networked CPU modules or only
for the CPU modules selected in the subscriber list. These compilation functions include:
● Entry of dynamic data for the SINAUT TD7 software in the form of data blocks in the
source file and generation of symbolic entries for the communication DBs.
● Entry of SINAUT TD7 basic blocks that do not exist in the source file or of blocks that
exist in a version earlier than or equal to the library version.
● Entry of CPU-specific SINAUT TD7 blocks in the source file according to the user
selection (CPU-specific blocks)
● Adoption of all the entries for SFCs or SFBs from the symbol table of the SINAUT TD7
library in all CPU modules involved if they do not already exist there.
● Synchronization of the time stamps of the compiled blocks with those of the library blocks
to prevent time stamp conflicts in the TD7 section.
The compilation functions described create the corresponding ST7 blocks as a source file
and store the source file in the
Sources directory of the relevant CPU. The source file
created in this way is then compiled and the blocks entered in the block directory.
Note
Only for installations with
-
SINAUT TD7 library lower than version 2.0 and
-
SINAUT configuration software lower than version 2.0:
If you want to change the STEP 7 user interface to English (in the SIMATIC Manager,
Options/Settings menu), the Mnemonic option must not be changed to IEC! This must
remain set to SIMATIC. Otherwise there will be compilation errors when generating the
SINAUT program!
